Phase 1

Controversy Over Prices

Before the start of the season it was decided by all the layer hatchery owners that rate of day old chick would be 55/chick. This was announced in the mid of November last year.

Egg Market Situation

Egg prices are now dropping after about 2months. The prices started to fall as the temperature began to rise. Market situation in Karachi also contributed to this and prices in Punjab fall so sharply.

Even more decrease in rate is expected. People are thinking that market would be stable at farm rate of about 2000-2200 per crate. Due to continuous drop in rate farmers are trying to sell their stocks as soon as possible to avoid any more economical losses related to the price.

This situation has finally brought the signs of relief to consumers mainly middle and lower class who were mainly affected by this situation.
